Sample Day: 

Wake up and swim in Kings Bay with local manatees. Eat outdoors at a bayfront restaurant and walk off lunch at Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. There you’ll find a number of Florida’s endangered species on display, including its namesake animal, the elusive Florida panther. Conclude by taking a shuttle bus back to the Orange County Convention Center for a final seminar before the day’s official programming ends. Evenings allow time for less structured networking opportunities with your peers.

When did VMX Begin?  

VMX began in 1982 as The Eastern States Veterinary Conference, bringing together veterinary professionals from around the world to Orlando, Florida.

Five-day conferences began in 2001 with a focus on experiential learning workshops for recently graduated veterinary students. In 2005, scholarships were offered to one student at every veterinary school in the US and Canada.
